Think about the EPIC battles he and Lebron would have. It would be an espn wet dream. Melo finds a new home in detroit and 1 vs 3 could be fodder for the rest of the press. From the standpoint of a fan in general i would want to see that. They could be battling it out for the eastern conference for the next decade.

I wouldn`t necessarily judge Melo`s Denver perfomance on what he could do as a Piston. First of all, who would he have around him in a Piston uniform?

If Sheed is here and plays on the block and demands a double, what could that do for Melo? In Denver they never had that low post threat to open up the floor for Anthony. Not to mention Melo himself could draw a double and that leaves Stuckey room to operate.

Stuckey, Melo and Sheed could be a three headed monster that could be hard to deal with.

Now, the defense and rebounding from Melo needs to be addressed.

Thats thinking big. There could be a lot of possibilities with this, plus we still have Rip. If Stucky and Amir come around then a trade like this would touch off a new era in Pistons basketball. The recent run fell a little short.

Throw in Dyess or something. If they are talking then something can get done.

Re: Denver Trade Nixed....Fallout..They Have To Be Traded/Team will be built around S

Why? Stuckey knows he isn't getting traded. His best friend (or whatever) on the team was Hunter and he isn't going anywhere either. He also knows he's going to have a bigger role next season. Seems like Stuck has nothing at all to worry about other than getting better to take advantage of his opportunities.

Joe D. is looking to move CB to Denver out of respect for what he has done for the Pistons. Denver wants to deal Melo, but they want to see if they can get more perhaps draft picks another player like Amir Johnson or get us to take a bad contract off there hands. Denver may even be trying to leverage us against another team. It is part of the game. Joe D. knows he needs a superstar to compete in this era of the NBA and that the going to work theme is dead.

I don't think there will be any fall out. Joe D. told the players from the jump no one was safe and they all know this is a business.

I think the "rumored" deal is BS, and there won't be any fallout; our players are not the CHI bulls; and everyone knows they are on the table

Don't believe the hype lpgrl. Things wasn't as chummy and family like as we were led to believe. The pistons players are still human. If you or I were told by our boss that we would be replaced, then circumstances change and we retain our job, I know that I would always have that little voice in the back of my mind called "trust issues". I think sometimes we hold superstars and athletes to different expectations. Don't.

You can never predict human response to a situation really, especially when we are challenged. We just have to wait and see.

My sources tells me by way of Chris Webber that there was a great deal/too much cockiness in the clubhouse and it wasn't coming from the youngsters.
